Awesome project! I dig that your notching the frame. What is the width and offset of that front zr1 rim? What spacer did you use? Can't wait to see more updates.

Tom have you done a track day with that yet or just auto cross?

Closest thing I've done to a track day is the RTTC2 course. I'm trying like hell to make it in Sept. but I'm starting to have my doubts whether it'll be together by then.

After I covered my car with mud Saturday morning spinning out on the road coarse, I hosed it off and I thought I got most of the mud off. But I was wrong. This stayed with me all through the rest of Saturday, all of Sunday, and a 400 mile drive home.

I was there that Saturday. At least you can say the track was cold and wet from the crisp morning condensation. The folks who spun out later that day didn't have that option...

Chicane brackets showed up last Friday. Working on the ideal position that gives maximum room for the coil-over while still clearing the UCA.

Using a super high-tech wooden dowel to mock up the sway bar. Bending the arms is going to be a blast...

Mid-September finish date is looking pretty shakey at this point. We'll see how things go.

Kickin a@@! So your getting the speedway kit and bending the arms up for the high clearance radius?

Updates!

Got all the parts for the sway bar last friday. The arms will be bent to follow the contour of the frame and then shortened to the correct length.

Also got the springs last week. Plenty of clearance to run the sway bar arm around the spring.

I did run into one issue however. Compare the next 2 pictures....

Now, looking at some pictures, and from what I remember, the balancer might still just clear the tubular sway bar. If it doesn't fit, even with shimming it lower a bit, the old Hotchkis bar will bolt right in place. I'll lose some turning radius, but at least it will work until I can figure out another solution.

Also, talked to the guy who I'm going to have weld everything back together. He did not seem optimistic about my time line lol.

Sway bar details.
 
Hi. Was the sway bar a custom ordered piece? If so what type of material is it (chrome moly, or mild steel). I am working on something like that for my Mustang and any info would be a great help. Thanks Scott
